The stop 10 is adapted to abut therbase of opened.

` When thestop isl not in use, the locking bar 2 -hangs freely from the tongue 7, as shown by dotted lines at the left of Fig. 2, but when itis desired to lock the .door so' that it can only .be

`A`slightly Vopened for purposes ofv ventilation'or Yotherwise, the bar is swung from itsvertical position to a horizontal position and'then'is swung horizontally and,`the door having been'closed, the `narrow part 11may be passed 'through the openpartlflof the loop 173, as' shown by the dotted linesjat the right of Fig. 2, and the bar 2 "will then drop down toy the positionill'ustrated by `full lines. When the door is swung open,kthe

"lower rounded part 15 on part 2 Yfcams the j part 2 into the loop 1,3 so'that the door may now be swung open until the stop 10 strikes the loop 13 without possibility of disengagement of `bar 2 from keeper 3. I

view of anA intruder is the bar 2 vbut this being of stiff and strong construction, it will be difficult to break. There being no attachments on the The vpart exposed to the jbar 2, there `is nothing to get out of order or to require adjustment. or to' `be tampered Vwith by an v outsider. p

the door opened and having a narrowed offset and to slide in the loop without detachment therefrom when the door is swung.

What I claim is: t

l. In a door stop, the combination with a keeper having a loop rprovided with an open side, of an attaching plate having a struck-up tongue, and a locking barfhaving an opening loosely engaged kwith the tongue which permits the bar to 'be swung upwardly and downwardly and shifted laterally, said bar being provided at its other end with a step adapted to engage the keeper when part located between the ends of said bar, said narrowed part being adapted for passage through the open part of the loop-*and said locking bar thereupon being adapted to all within the keeper 2. Ina door stop, a locking' bar adapted for "connection at one end nto means for its attachment to the door frame and having a free part which may be engaged with a keeper on the door, characterized by a vnarrowed part located between its broader parts and disposed inv angular relation to the bar, said narrowed, angularly dis- Y -posed partadapting the bar for lateral engage- `Inentwitlfi, or disengagement from, thev keeper when the door is closed. y `3. In a door stop,the combination with a lock- "ing bar whichY has means vfor pivoting it for swinging up' and down Aand laterally when in use, said bar having va narrowed part located between its "ends and a cam-part connecting said narrowed part to the Vlocking bar, of-a keeper having a loopgprovided withan open side through vwhich thevnarrowed part of thel barmay pass,. i fsaid locking bar, when entered in the loop ofY the keeper, being adapted to'fall` within the keeper and said cam-part serving to displace the locking' bar toA enable said bar to slide Ainthe loop without detachment therefrom when the door isv swung n K, Y 115 v v l '12o
